Randall Realty Group said it will use the Palm Beach location as its East Coast headquarters as it seeks more acquisitions in South Florida.

“Our team gravitated toward this building because of its desirable location between the ocean and Intracoastal steps away from the beach, and its strong rent roll,” Jordan Randall, managing director of Randall Realty Group, said in a statement.

The property is near Lake Worth Pier. The building, constructed in 1982, last sold in 2013 for $9.5 million, according to property records.

The seller was The Silverman Group of Basking Ridge, N.J.

Scott O’Donnell and Mike Ciadella of Cushman & Wakefield (CWK) represented both the buyer and seller in the transaction.

Randall Realty Group head Jim Randall last year paid $16 million for a West Palm Beach mansion.
